state-of-the-art tools and technologies in a lab-intensive environment.
Cybersecurity Threats and Analysis (CTCH 615):
An introduction to tools and tactics to manage cybersecurity threats, identify various types of common threats, analyze organizational exposure to threats, and collect and analyze cybersecurity intelligence. The goal is to analyze common security failures and identify specific design principles that have been violated. Emphasis is on the interaction between security and system usability and the importance of minimizing the potential for harm by modern threats, attacks, and usability challenges.
Cybersecurity for Systems and Networks (CTCH 625):
A study of key security issues and procedures in systems and networks. The objective is to identify security issues within LANs, WANs, and network operating systems; identify system threats and network infrastructure design weaknesses; determine security flaws in the network infrastructure protocols; and explain the security of data at rest in systems. Topics include modern systems and network hardening tools, techniques, and practices.
Cybersecurity Attack Prevention Strategies (CTCH 635):
A comprehensive study of targeted cyberattacks, including advanced persistent threats. The aim is to plan and prepare for, respond to, and recover from targeted cyberattacks. Focus is on the phases of targeted cyberattacks and methods used by attackers during each phase. Topics include cyberattack prevention, mitigation, and response.
Cybersecurity Exploitation Methodologies (CTCH 645):
A comprehensive study of the cyber exploitation methodologies. The objective is to identify the latest tools, techniques, and ethical hacking practices. Emphasis is on applying state-of-the-art tools and technologies in a lab-intensive environment that provides hands-on, real-world experience.
